Bewdley
Bewdley is a little riverside community as well as civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire on the Shropshire border in England, along the Severn Valley 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Kidderminster as well as 22 miles (35 km) southwest of Birmingham. [1] It lies on the River Severn, at the gateway of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve, as well as at the time of the 2011 census had a population of 9,470. Bewdley is a popular visitor destination as well as is known for the Bewdley Bridge designed by Thomas Telford. The almost all of Bewdley town is situated on the western bank of the River Severn, including the main street-- Load Street-- whose name derives from lode, an old word for ferry. Load Street is noteworthy for its width: this is since it when also functioned as the town's market location. Most of Bewdley's stores and features are positioned along Load Street, on top of which exists St Anne's Church, developed between 1745 and 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden. Beyond the church, High Street leads off to the south towards Stourport along the B4194, a road understood in your area as "the switchback" due to its numerous wavinesses. Unlike in many English towns, High Street is so called not as a result of its relevance, yet due to its geographical setting 'high' over the river. On the other side of the church, Welch Gate (so called because it as soon as had a tollgate when driving towards Wales) climbs considerably as much as the west, while Dowles Road, an extension of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles as well as in the direction of the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the community is the wooded hill of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southern terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the area in between Stourport and Bewdley there are a number of huge lodge, amongst which Witley Court, Astley Hall as well as Swimming pool House are especially substantial.
